Six weeks ago, Mittens was found wandering the streets of Sunshine in heartbreaking condition. She wasn’t pregnant as first suspected. Instead, her tiny body was so severely malnourished that her swollen belly was full of worms. She was little more than skin, bones and fur.
She’s an incredibly petite little girl who easily gets mistaken for a younger kitten.
Despite everything she’s endured, Mittens has remained one of the sweetest little souls you’ll ever meet. She adores people. She’ll happily trail behind you from room to room, asking for cuddles, company and simply to be close to someone who makes her feel safe. She doesn’t ask for much. Just love.
Unfortunately, her past has left its mark.
Dogs are simply too frightening for her. We believe she has learnt through experience that they aren’t safe, so she is looking for a dog free home.
She’s also still learning that other cats won’t hurt her. Rather than joining in, she quietly keeps to herself and watches from a distance. With patience and gentle introductions, we’d love to see her discover that feline friendships can be safe and fun too.
Mittens has a very playful side and is often seen having little zoomie moments 😍
One of the hardest things to witness is her relationship with food. Although she now has constant access to more than she’ll ever need, certain foods, especially chicken and wet food, trigger panic as if it’s her last meal and she will miss out. She instantly turns back into a street kitten fighting for survival 😞
No kitten should know what true hunger feels like.
Mittens is looking for a home that understands healing doesn’t happen overnight. A home where she’ll never have to wonder where her next meal is coming from, where she’ll be loved unconditionally, and where she can finally enjoy the carefree life every kitten should have had from the beginning.
If you have room in your heart for a little girl who’s survived far more than she ever should have, Mittens is ready to start the next chapter of her life with you. 🧡

Adoption details
At Suburban Fuzzy Farm Rescue, we are dedicated to finding the perfect forever homes for our rescued cats and kittens. Our adoption process is designed to ensure each feline is placed in a loving, responsible home that meets their individual needs.
Each adoption profile outlines the type of home we believe would be the best fit for the adoptee, as well as any non-negotiables that wouldn’t be suitable for them. Our goal is not only to find the best homes for our fosters but also to ensure a great match for potential adopters.
Please note that our adoption fees don’t even begin to cover the full cost of care, but we strive to keep them as reasonable as possible 🙂
We’re also here to support you long after adoption! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out, we love updates on our former rescues!
